CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to German Patent Application No. 102017 217 455.2, filed Sep. 29, 2017, which is incorporated herein byreference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic composition based on twospecific copolymers for firming hair or for temporarily reshapingkeratin fibres, in particular human hair, and a method and utilisationof this composition, and use thereof to improve long-term hold andresistance to moisture.

BACKGROUND

The temporary shaping of hairstyles for a relatively long period of timeup to several days generally requires the application of firming activeingredients. Hair treatment agents that serve to temporarily shape thehair thus play an important role. Appropriate agents for temporarydeformation usually contain synthetic polymers and/or wax as firmingactive ingredient. Agents for assisting the temporary reshaping ofkeratinous fibres can be provided for example in the form of hairspray,hair wax, hair gel or hair mousse.

The most important property of an agent for the temporary deformation ofhair, also referred to hereinafter as styling agents, lies in providingthe treated fibres with the greatest possible hold in the newly modelledform—i.e. a form impressed on the hair. Reference is also made to astrong hairstyle hold or to a high holding power of the styling agent.The hold of a hairstyle is determined fundamentally by the type andquantity of the used firming active ingredient, however the furtherconstituents of the styling agent can also have an effect.

In addition to a high holding power, styling agents must also satisfy awide range of further requirements. These can be divided roughly intoproperties on the hair, properties of the particular formulation, forexample properties of the mousse, of the gel, or of the sprayed aerosol,and properties that concern the handling of the styling agent, whereinthe properties on the hair are attributed particular importance. Inparticular, moisture resistance, low stickiness (tack), and a balancedconditioning effect can be cited. Furthermore, a styling agent should beuniversally usable for all hair types where possible and should be mildon the hair and skin.

In order to satisfy the different requirements, a multiplicity ofsynthetic polymers which are used in styling agents have already beendeveloped as firming active ingredients. These polymers can be dividedinto cationic, anionic, non-ionic and amphoteric firming polymers.

European patent application EP 3 069 709 A1 describes cosmetic polymerblends for the hair which, besides an oxyalkylene polymer, also containthe hydrophobically modified (meth)acrylic acid copolymer with thecommercial name Luvigel Fit (Internationl Nomenclature CosmeticIngredient (INCI): Acrylates (C10-30) Alkyl Methacrylate Copolymer)

International patent application WO 2013/091993 A1 describes a stylingagent based on a specific polymer combination comprising a polymer withthe INCI name Vinyl Caprolactam/VP/Dimethylaminoethyl MethacrylateCopolymer.

When applied to the hair, the polymers ideally form a polymer film onthe hair that on the one hand provides the hairstyle with a strong hold,but on the other hand is sufficiently flexible so as not to break whenstressed. If the polymer film is too brittle, what are known as filmflakes form, that is to say residues that detach as the hair moves andgive the impression that the user of the corresponding styling agent hasdandruff. Similar problems are encountered when wax is used as firmingactive ingredient in the styling agent. If the styling agent is a gel ora paste, the polymers should additionally have thickening properties.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and isnot intended to limit the disclosure or the application and uses of thesubject matter as described herein. Furthermore, there is no intentionto be bound by any theory presented in the preceding background or thefollowing detailed description.

One object of the present disclosure was to provide a further suitablepolymer combination which is exemplified by good film-forming and/orfirming properties, a very high degree of hold without having tocompromise on flexibility and good moisture resistance—in particularresistance to perspiration and water—and which additionally is suitablefor the production of stable viscous and stable transparent cosmeticcompositions. In particular, currently available styling agents can beimproved even further in that a good combination of stiffness andlong-term hold (high humidity curl retention) is not always ensuredsufficiently. One object of the present disclosure is therefore toprovide styling agents that, besides the above-mentioned properties, inparticular also produce good stiffness and a good long-term hold.

It has surprisingly been found within the scope of the presentdisclosure that an improved hold of styling products can be achieved bycombining two constituents known per se which are already used instyling products. Other properties usually required of styling products,such as resistance to moisture, stiffness and low tack, are retained. Agood combination of properties of this kind was not anticipated, noteven in the knowledge of the individual components, and was surprising.It has been found by way of experimentation that an effect goingsignificantly beyond a mere additive effect of said constituents, i.e. asynergistic effect, is obtained in respect of the hold and wasdemonstrated in the HHRC test (high humidity curl retention test).

The cosmetic composition as contemplated herein can contain furtherconventional substances of styling products. In particular, additionalnourishing substances can be mentioned as further auxiliaries andadditives.

As nourishing substances, the product can contain at least one proteinhydrolysate and/or a derivative thereof, for example. Proteinhydrolysates are product mixtures which are obtained by acid-catalysed,base-catalysed or enzymatically catalysed breakdown of proteins. Theterm “protein hydrolysates” is understood as contemplated herein to alsomean total hydrolysates and also individual amino acids and derivativesthereof as well as mixtures of different amino acids. The molecularweight of the protein hydrolysates usable as contemplated herein liesbetween about 75, the molecular weight for glycine, and about 200,000,and the molecular weight is preferably from about 75 to about 50,000,and very particularly preferably from about 75 to about 20,000 daltons.

As nourishing substance, the agent as contemplated herein can alsocontain at least one vitamin, a provitamin, a vitamin precursor and/orone of the derivatives thereof. Here, vitamins, provitamins and vitaminprecursors that are usually assigned to the groups A, B, C, E, F and Hare preferred as contemplated herein.

Similarly to the addition of glycerol and/or propylene glycol, theaddition of panthenol increases the flexibility of the polymer filmformed with application of the product as contemplated herein.

As nourishing substance, the agents as contemplated herein can alsocontain at least one plant extract, but also monosaccharides oroligosaccharides and/or lipids.

Oil bodies are also suitable as nourishing substance. Natural andsynthetic cosmetic oil bodies include, for example, plant oils, liquidparaffin oils, isoparaffin oils and synthetic hydrocarbons as well asdi-n-alkyl ethers having a total of between about 12 and about 36 Catoms, in particular from about 12 to about 24 C atoms. Preferredcosmetic agents as contemplated herein contain at least one oil body,preferably at least one oil body from the group of silicone oils. Thegroup of silicone oils includes, in particular, the dimethicones, whichalso include the cyclomethicones, the aminofunctional silicones, andalso the dimethiconols. The dimethicones can be both linear and branchedand cyclic, or cyclic and branched. Suitable silicone oils or siliconegums are in particular dialkyl and alkylaryl siloxanes, such as dimethylpolysiloxane and methylphenyl polysiloxane, and the alkoxylated,quaternised, or anionic derivatives thereof. Cyclic and linearpolydialkyl siloxanes, the alkoxylated and/or aminised derivativesthereof, dihydroxypolydimethyl siloxanes and polyphenyl alkyl siloxanesare preferred.

Ester oils, i.e. esters of C6-C30 fatty acids with C2-C30 fattyalcohols, preferably monoesters of the fatty acids with alcohols havingfrom about 2 to about 24 C atoms, such as isopropylmyristate (Rilanit®IPM), isononanoic acid C16-18 alkyl ester (Cetiol® SN), 2-ethylhexylpalmitate (Cegesoft® 24), stearic acid-2-ethylhexyl ester (Cetiol® 868),cetyl oleate, glycerol tricaprylate, coconut fatty alcoholcaprinate/caprylate (Cetiol® LC), n-butyl stearate, oleyl erucate(Cetiol® J 600), isopropyl palmitate (Rilanite® IPP), oleyl oleate(Cetiol®), lauric acid hexyl ester (Cetiol® A), di-n-butyl adipate(Cetiol® B), myristyl myristate (Cetiol® MM), cetearyl isononanoate(Cetiol® SN), and oleic acid decyl ester (Cetiol® V) are furtherpreferred nourishing oil bodies.

Furthermore, dicarboxylic acid esters, symmetrical, asymmetrical orcyclic esters of carbon dioxide with fatty alcohols, tri fatty acidesters of saturated and/or unsaturated linear and/or branched fattyacids with glycerol or fatty acid partial glycerides, which areunderstood to mean monoglycerides, diglycerides and technical mixturesthereof, are to be understood as nourishing substances.

Emulsifiers or surface-active agents are also preferably contained inthe composition as contemplated herein. PEG derivatives of hydrogenatedcastor oil which are obtainable for example under the name PEGHydrogenated Castor Oil are preferred, for example PEG-30 HydrogenatedCastor Oil, PEG-33 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PEG-35 Hydrogenated CastorOil, PEG-36 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, or PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil.The use of PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is preferred as contemplatedherein. These are preferably contained in an amount of from about 0.05to about 1.5% by weight, more preferably from about 0.1 to about 1.0% byweight, also preferably from about 0.2 to about 0.8% by weight or fromabout 0.3 to about 0.6% by weight. Besides the tailored provision, inparticular the ease with which the cosmetic compositions can be washedout is also improved by the addition of the surface-active substances,in particular the aforementioned PEG derivatives of hydrogenated castoroil.

The cosmetic compositions as contemplated herein contain the ingredientsor active substances in a cosmetically acceptable carrier.

Preferred cosmetically acceptable carriers are aqueous, alcoholic, oraqueous-alcoholic media with preferably at least about 10% by weightwater, calculated on the basis of the total weight of the composition.The cosmetic carrier particularly preferably contains water, inparticular in such an amount that the cosmetic composition, calculatedon the basis of its total weight, contains at least about 20% by weight,in particular at least about 40.0% by weight, most preferably about 70%by weight of water. Cosmetic compositions that are very particularlypreferred comprise, in relation to their total weight, a water contentbetween about 50 and about 95% by weight, preferably between about 60and about 90% by weight, and in particular between about 65 and about85% by weight.

As alcohols, the lower alcohols with from about 1 to about 4 carbonatoms usually used in particular for cosmetic purposes, such as ethanoland isopropanol, can be contained.

Examples of water-soluble solvents as cosolvents are glycerol and/orethylene glycol and/or 1,2-propylene glycol in an amount of from about 0to about 30% by weight in relation to the total product.

The composition of some preferred cosmetic agents can be deduced fromthe following tables (specified amounts in % by weight are in relationto the total weight of the cosmetic agent unless specified otherwise).
